CRUMB TOPPING
5 tablespoons butter
½ cup sugar
½ cup flour
½ cup oatmeal
MUFFINS
2 cups all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup buttermilk- I don't ever have buttermilk- so I used 1-2 tsp lemon juice in milk (enough to make the ½ cup) and let it curdle - it works the same.
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups fresh blueberries
The original recipe has a glaze - 3 Tbsp lemon juice and 1 cup powdered sugar - I made it, but it was WAY too runny. So I don't think I'll use that again.It didn't drizzle nicely on the muffins- it was more like pouring water on them.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. (I needed 16- the original recipe must have bigger muffin tins)
- Make the crumb topping by combining the melted butter, sugar, flour, oatmeal and salt. Stir with a fork until crumbs form. Set aside.
- Beat butter for 1 minute until soft and fluffy. Add sugar and continue to beat for 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time and beat just until incorporated. Add milk, vanilla and lemon zest and mix on low until combined.
- Add the baking powder and salt.
- Add flour mixture and stir, by hand, until flour disappears. Do not over mix or muffins will be tough. Gently stir in blueberries.
- Divide mixture evenly in the prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle with the crumb topping.
- Bake at 350˚F for 22 to 25 minutes or until light golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack. (drizzle with the glaze if you made it)
